With a real holster this would never happen.

Whoa. That's great news. This should cut back on wait times significantly.

Contained in a closed and fastened case... There is no mention of locking said case.

But you don't need to do this according to the law. Going above and beyond what the law requires only creates the assumption that these "extra measures" are "required" and before long will turn them into the "accepted standard". Those who said it before me couldn't be more correct... NJ gun owners ARE their worst enemy.

I should be there.

You're furthering the paranoia surrounding gun laws in this state. Yes, our gun laws suck, but making them out to be worse than they actually are just makes things worse. If you have a problem with me pointing out your paranoid behavior... tough.

Been approached by LEOs while hunting(who checked our licenses), and they watched us place our guns on the back seat. Never an issue. Loosen up your tin-foil hat.

Over the last 15+ years that I have been hunting with my father, we have always laid our guns in unlocked cases on the back seat of his pickup truck, with ammo in our vests laid on top of the cases.

22 rounds in free states. There are 10 rounders available for us.

The only thing in your driving history that could be grounds for denial would be multiple DUIs.

I have to sit out Work schedule will not be compatible with this.

S&W Pro

Is that what they call it these days?

I am willing to donate my steel to the cause if this were to happen. And by donate I don't mean bring it.. I'll give it to whoever is running the show.

Was just about to post a similar thread. Wife and I are thinking about a wirehaired griffon as well.

PM Old School, he's the resident Ithaca expert here.

Fantastic, Dan.

You are correct, no handgun hunting in NJ.

Nice RO interference at 5:27...

What powder are you loading with?

Sounds like some confusion on the part of your gun shop. I can see DUTY weapons being exempt, and perhaps in an extreme stretch, off-duty weapons. PD's typically have "approved calibers" that LEOs can carry on and off duty, so it sounds like that's where this info may have come from. Keep in mind though, that NICS is denying those who do not have exemptions on file, and occupation has nothing to do with a NICS check. Good luck, and let us know if you get more info on this. I would be interested in hearing a disposition on it.

Went out with my little brother around 1130 and passed about 15-20 guys on their way out. Only saw 2 other people while we were hunting. I spotted a bird on the ground but when I had my brother run at it it didn't jump and just ran into the woods. Oh well.

I can't give you any ideas on locations, but you can buy a license whenever you'd like, even after the permit or 6-day hunt begins.

You can always call for the MD to come over and take a shot with certified minor ammo. If it don't fall it don't count. Keep in mind though, that not all factory ammo hits minor.
